The top one, Westside Shop was on Unst and photographed in the late 1980's I think. It's great that most shops in the sticks sell almost anything (look in the right hand window). Sadly this shop is long gone and has now been converted to a house.

The second, is a bus shelter at Baltasound on Unst, This is amazing as it wouldn't last two seconds in any other area in the UK. Each year the bus shelter's image is changed by the people living in the house next door, inside a TV, computer, pictures, plants and a settee. We always look forward to seeing what is next. It even has its own website at http://www.unstbusshelter.shetland.co.uk

About Me

Shetland is a magical place to visit and even better to live in. You really feel close to nature, there is so much to see and learn. The landscape is for ever changing under the wind blown sky. Its a place where you can make a difference, where recording and undertaking wildlife surveys do make you feel that you are connecting with nature.
Shetland has to be one of the best UK destinations for photography. The light is so clear and crisp, the weather is constantly changing giving superb cloud formations.
Being a dark site destination Shetland is always going to be great for astrophotography, although very challenging with windy nights.
I use Nikon D610 , D7100 & Sony A7s cameras with a sigma 500 + 800 mm lenses as well as a 105 macro Nikon, Samyang 14 mm & 24mm .Contact shetsip@gmail.com
